To save Nora (Daniella Alonso) from her injury, Miles (Billy Burke) leads the gang on a detour to visit an old acquaintance for medical support, but they quickly find themselves in unfriendly territory.

fter Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Nora (Daniella Alonso) rescue Miles (Billy Burke) from the Militia, they set off to meet Aaron (Zak Orth) and Maggie (Anna Lise Phillips). All the while, Nate (JD Pardo) is tracking Miles and Charlie at every turn. As the gang reunites and continues on their journey, unforeseeable challenges await.

Set in a post-apocalyptic society, the thrilling one-hour drama follows a family’s struggle to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology – computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights – has mysteriously blacked out forever. Charlie (Canadian Tracy Spiridakos, Being Human) and a rogue band of survivors set out for Chicago to seek help from Charlie’s estranged uncle Miles (Billy Burke, The Twilight Saga) after her brother Danny (Graham Rogers, Memphis Beat) is kidnapped by the militia – namely, Captain Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito, Breaking Bad). Along the way, Charlie makes the acquaintance of a mysterious archer named Nate (JD Pardo, The Burning Plain) who helps her crew out of a jam but may be harbouring an agenda of his own.

Citytv is building upon last year’s ambitious – and highly successful – fall schedule, in which 67 per cent of new programs are returning (the most of any Canadian network), while every returning show from last season ended the year with stronger audiences than when they started.

This year’s Citytv prime-time schedule is a mix of proven winners with fresh new series featuring a star-studded pedigree of actors, producers and writers, with 20 series in simulcast. The 2012-13 Citytv schedule represents the best network television has to offer.

“Citytv’s prime-time schedule is the strongest – and most competitive – in network history with critically-acclaimed fan-favourites, proven winners from last season, and the most buzzed about new series with both big-name stars and fresh faces. Our schedule is better every day,” said Scott Moore, President of Broadcast, Rogers Media. “With Citytv’s expanded footprint, we will be in nine million homes this fall, reaching more viewers in more homes than ever before. And we’re not done yet. Our goal of delivering our world-class content to a national audience is firmly within our grasp.”

Comedies continue to reign supreme on Citytv featuring six nights of powerhouse comedy blocks with the most critically-acclaimed and popular series. Citytv’s strength in this genre is undeniable. Joining proven winners from last season, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Suburgatory, Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, and Last Man Standing are four hilarious new situational comedies for the fall season from the funniest minds in the industry: Partners, Ben and Kate, The Mindy Project, and Malibu Country. For mid-season, five new boundary-pushing comedies join the roster: 1600 Penn, The Goodwin Games, and How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life), plus Citytv original comedies Package Deal and Seed (see separate announcement).

Red-hot funny-man Jimmy Kimmel is the ‘it’ guy of the year, and Citytv has bolstered its late-night lineup with the addition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, airing weekdays at 12 midnight ET in simulcast.

In dramas, Citytv had the surprise sleeper-hit of the season in the ever-popular Revenge. Joining other returning favourites Person of Interest and Scandal are four riveting and suspenseful series; Revolution and 666 Park Avenue this fall, while Hannibal and The Carrie Diaries will air mid-season.

Reality television heats up on Citytv this fall as bachelor Brad Smith looks for love in all the right places in the first-ever edition of The Bachelor Canada. Helping Brad on his journey with 25 Canadian bachelorettes is Tyler Harcott, announced today as Host of the series (see separate announcement).

Citytv continues to invest in daytime programming, building upon its winning original daytime series Breakfast Television (Canada’s #1 morning show in major English markets) and CityLine (Canada’s longest-running lifestyle show). With the addition of Katie – the most anticipated new daytime talk show in recent years with proven network star Katie Couric – Citytv is poised to dominate in this genre. Katie will premiere this fall, airing weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in simulcast.

Another award-winning journalist joins the schedule – this time on sister-network OMNI Television – enriching the network’s robust news offering. The trusted and compelling Rock Center with Brian Williams airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET in simulcast, beginning this fall. Also joining OMNI Television this fall is proven hit comedy series Rules of Engagement in strip at 7 and 7:30 p.m. ET, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, in simulcast at 12:35 a.m. ET.
